But seriously, this place is awesome! I'd be lost on so many different fronts without this website and community.

A very thoughtful and appropriate gift Kes. Thank you to you, Ramon and this community that fights for our rights and provides such excellent information to navigate the confusing waters of California gun laws.

Ramon, I have not had the pleasure of meeting you, but I would like to offer my thanks for beginning this great site. Kes, it is an honorable thing you have done for Ramon and thank you for keeping this fantastic site going.

One last thank you Kes: Thank you for allowing me to serve as a moderator here and hopefully contribute to its continuance in some small way. I am honored as both a member and as part of the great staff here, to belong.

CalGuns Network (CGN) is different from CalGuns Foundation (CGF). Both need our support. I have gold name because I support CGN; plus, I send $10 every two weeks to CGF automatically via online BillPay as described here.

Happy Birthday! Thanks for all the memories so far looking forward to many more!
